2. Fig. 1
Biodistribution of trovafloxacin in normal rats (open bars) and uninvolved tissues of infected rats (solid bars) at 5, 30, 60 and 120 min after injection. The data are expressed as μg/g. The animals were infected 24 h before injection. Each value is the mean ± SEM for six animals. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.

3. Fig. 2
Trovafloxacin concentrations (μg/g) in normal and infected rat muscle at 5, 30, 60 and 120 min after injection. The animals were infected 24 h before injection. Normal* indicates uninfected muscle of infected rats. Each value is the mean±SEM for six animals. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.

5. Fig. 4
Blood clearance of trovafloxacin in normal and infected rabbits. Results from individual animals are not indicated. Each value is the mean ± SEM for four animals. The data were well described by biexponential functions.

6. Fig. 5
Tissue accumulation curves of trovafloxacin in normal (n = 4) and infected (n = 4) rabbits. Since there was no significant difference in drug concentrations between uninfected tissues of normal and infected animals, these data were pooled for analysis and each value represents the mean ± SEM for eight animals. Concentrations were measured by PET.

7. Fig. 6
Biodistribution of trovafloxacin in normal rabbits and rabbits with deep thigh E. coli infections at 2 h after injection. The data are expressed as μg/g. The animals were infected 24 h before injection. Each value is the mean ± SEM for four animals. Concentrations were determined by direct tissue radioactivity measurements.

8. Fig. 7
Trovafloxacin concentrations (μg/g) in normal and infected rabbit muscle at 120 min after injection determined by direct tissue radioactivity measurements. The animals were infected 24 h before injection. Normal* indicates uninfected muscle of infected rabbits. Each value is the mean ± SEM for four animals.
